Are you always happy during your vacation? Many people may say "yes". But last week I had a bad vacation.

    My parents and I took a bus to the Great Wall We got on the bus at 7:00 a, m. But on the half way, there was something wrong with the bus. After an hour, it started again. It was about 11:00 a. m. when we got to the Great Wall.

    We were excited when we stood on the Great Wall. My father took out the camera and wanted to take some photos. But just then, it started to rain. We had to go back to our bus. When we wanted to eat something, we found we left our food at home.

    Today was not a good day. Everything went wrong. First, I slept late and Mum shouted at me to wake up. I tried to wake up but I couldn't. I just went back to sleep, and she had to come and shout at me again.

    When I finally got out of bed, I went to the kitchen for breakfast. There was no cereal (谷类食物). I decided to have some toast (烤面包片) instead, but I burned it. I had to eat it anyway because there was no more bread. There was no juice, either. I just had a glass of water.

    When I was almost at the bus stop, I realized that I had forgotten my wallet, so I had to go back home and get it. Of course, I missed the bus and had to wait for the next bus.

    I was late for school and the teacher told me to stay in the classroom at lunchtime to catch up on (补上) the schoolwork I had missed.

    After lunch, it was the time to give the teacher our homework. I reached into my bag to get it, but it wasn't there. I had left it at home. I was in trouble again.

    When I got home, I went straight to my room to catch up on my homework. Mum cooked fish for dinner. She knows I don't like fish, but she thinks it is good for her son. I am going to bed early so that nothing else can go wrong. It was a terrible day. I hope tomorrow will be better.

Thereare many interesting stories between Father and Son.

I'm a good swimmer and I will try my bestto save you." Father pulled the woman on to the bank (岸边). He was3but happy. But the lady was not thankfulto Father at all; instead, she slapped Father heavily. She jumped into wateragain. Oops! This was a4competition !

My uncle is a reporter in a TV station. Yesterday he {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(邀请) me to visit the station. It was my lucky day! My uncle {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(带领) me around the station. He told me to {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(避免) making any noise, because some programmes were on air. The station is big and beautiful. There are many studios in it. To my big {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(惊奇), I met my favourite presenter. She {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (似乎) to be more beautiful. She was reading {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (文章;报道) of the latest {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(国际的) news in English. In other studios, some presenters were doing {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (采访); some were answering the calls from {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(听众). They were all very busy. I really hope to have a {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(兼职的) job in the TV station to experience their work one day. From now on, I will try my best to study for it.

One year, a British expedition（探险队）got lost in the Sahara Desert（撒哈拉沙漠）. The sun was burning hot. Everyone quickly ran out of {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. If they made a wrong decision, then they could all {#blank#}2{#/blank#} soon. 

At this time, the leader took out a water kettle （壶）and said, "I found a kettle of water in my bag. But before we pass through the desert, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} is allowed to drink it." The kettle of water {#blank#}4{#/blank#} the faith（信心）for everyone to cross the desert. . 

Finally, the expedition made it out of the desert. With tears of joy, they opened the kettle with shaking {#blank#}5{#/blank#} —but sand not water! 

Was it a kettle of sand that {#blank#}6{#/blank#} saved them in the desert? The answer is no. Their deep faith in the hope of survival（生存）, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} a seed（种子）, had taken root（植根）and grown in their hearts. That is what led them out of the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} situation in the end. 

In fact, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} hard time you face, as long as there is a seed of faith in your heart, don't give up {#blank#}10{#/blank#} , then you'll succeed（成功）.
